Tewitfield Marina is a group of Lancashire cottages at the most northerly end of the navigable section of the Lancaster Canal, one of the most scenic canals in the country. This gentle waterway, ideal for peaceful countryside walks, offers wonderful views of the Silverdale coast, Forest of Bowland and rolling countryside of Wyre. A waterbus now runs on the canal in the summer months between Carnforth and Lancaster, with connecting bus and train services. A short walk along the canal from these Lancashire cottages will take you to Carnforth. Carnforth Station is now a popular visitor attraction as it was the location for the 1945 romantic classic Brief Encounter starring Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard. The Refreshment Room on the platform has been faithfully restored to its 1940's period glory and you can enjoy a drink, or a bite to eat, there.

This exclusive contemporary development of stone faced town houses and apartments, each with its own terrace to make the most of the waterside location, is excellently situated alongside the canal basin. The setting is delightful – swans and ducks swim amongst the pretty narrow boats moored along the canal, which runs south to Lancaster and beyond. Canoeists and canal boat enthusiasts enjoy their pursuits and towpath walks are a favourite with visitors, who can take in the tranquillity of the water or join in the friendly boating banter of the canalside. The surrounding views are over a rural landscape and in the distance are the majestic Lake District fells. |An excellent base for holidays and relaxing breaks, with good connections to fast roads nearby, these four luxuriously appointed properties offer easy access to some of Britain’s best loved countryside – the southerly edge of the Lake District National Park is a 15 mile drive and the market town of Kendal, gateway to the Lakes, is only 13 miles, whilst the beautiful Yorkshire Dales are also under half an hour’s drive. Close by, the historic university town of Lancaster (9 miles) with its castles, museums, theatre and parks is well worth a visit and the breathtakingly lovely open water of Morecambe Bay at the charming village of Arnside lies just 8 miles distant. Golfers will head to the pretty village of Silverdale (5 miles), which is also the location of RSPB Leighton Moss. Just 500 yards away is a welcoming inn serving good food and within easy walking distance there is a farm village where visitors will find a shop selling crafts and local produce, a good cafe and even animals to pet.
